Javelin

Fatima Zahra secured Pakistan’s first medal at the 2026 Commonwealth Games with a bronze in women’s 60kg boxing after losing the semifinals to Canada’s Marie-Bathoul Al-Ahmadieh. Arshad Nadeem was eliminated in the javelin final, where Sri Lanka’s Rumesh Pathirage achieved the top throw of 89.75 meters, while India’s Neeraj Chopra finished second with 85.83 meters.

The U.S. Army received its first batch of lighter Javelin launchers, developed by RTX in collaboration with Lockheed Martin. The new Lightweight Command Launch Unit (LWCLU) is 30% smaller and 25% lighter, with improved target detection range and infrared technology. The system is being produced at an upgraded factory, with the U.S. having sent thousands to Ukraine for its defense against Russia.
